Distribution Relationships

At Foodbuy Hospitality, we recognize delivery of goods and services is a priority in the world of procurement because price and rebate rates are only as good as what you can access. We have established many long-standing relationships with national distributors, redistributors, regional and local houses as well as direct service providers. These relationships allow us to not only give you access to the right products and services, but also to ensure they are conveniently delivered in a timely manner.

  • Local & Regional Distribution
  • Non-Food Programs

Broadline Distribution

As a member of Foodbuy Hospitality, you have the freedom to choose your broadline distributor. We partner with all of the national broadline distributors, from Sysco to US Foods to major regional distributors (like Gordon Foodservice and Shamrock Foods), which means you can continue working with your existing distributor or you can make a change at any time. During the onboarding process, we are willing and able to work with your existing distributor to implement our program or with a new distributor, if you so choose. Our flexible service model is able to support your distribution strategy today and as it evolves in the future.

Local & Regional Distribution

When you partner with Foodbuy Hospitality, we make it easy to save and manage your local and regional programs. We have the expertise to help you achieve your goals and can help you source a unique assortment of fresh, local ingredients all while pursuing strategies to consistently save on your regional spend.

Non-Food Programs

When you partner with Foodbuy, you will have access to a wide variety of programs that fall outside of traditional broadline or local and regional distribution. Some of these suppliers have alternate methods of distribution with many offering direct delivery to our Members. These programs include but are not limited to: facilities maintenance; furniture, fixtures & equipment (FF&E); maintenance, repair & operations (MRO); and amenities.

Distribution Resources

Foodbuy Hospitality's distribution team provides a variety of resources to ensure you are maximizing your distribution strategy no matter the partner.

  • Managed Order Guides (MOGs)

    Managed Order Guides are catalogs that contain only products you have approved for purchase at each distributor. MOGs are extremely valuable in minimizing off-contract pricing.

  • Stocking Communications

    In the case of out-of-stock items we work directly with your broadline food distributor to find contracted replacement items that will still meet the needs of your Managed Order Guides and are able to assist in communicating recommended substitutions to your unique locations.

  • Audit Services

    Our Audit Services identify overcharges and pricing discrepancies from distributors. Feel confident that your organization is receiving the program pricing you were promised and have assurance knowing your procurement platform is reaching its full potential.
